Chapter 45: The Edwards
Yuri scrambled down the stairs and hugged Raul's neck and front legs: "What a cute baby bear." Net"
Raul proudly looked at He Xichen and Harud from the corner of his eyes, as if to say, "See, this is the charm of my brother, up to eighty, down to five years old, let's kill them all." ”
He Xichen and Harud said in unison: "Pretending to be stupid and cute." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yuli, don't make trouble, it's rude to the guests like this." ”
Yuri reluctantly let go of the hand holding Raul and put her little hand to her mouth: "But Xiong Xiong is really cute." ”
Raul was full of satisfaction at the moment: "It's okay, I like this kid very much. ”
Yuri heard that Raul could speak, and excitedly hugged Raul's leg again: "Talking bear, so cute." ”
"This is Helsinki, the capital of the Carolingian Empire, and this is my friend Edward, you three fools will live here for the time being, remember, don't make trouble for me." ”
Harud said depressedly: "This ** will send us to a long place." ”
Edward said: "I'm sorry, my daughter has always been very lively and active, and during this time, I will try to take care of everyone's daily life." ”
He Xichen touched his head embarrassedly: "It's just us who bothered you." ”
Chevrett said: "These three fools have caused a lot of trouble in the Xili Kingdom, and they have no choice but to stay here for the time being." ”
Edward smiled: "Such a big house, only my daughter and I live, it is very deserted, and there are more people and it is very lively. ”
Edward's home is divided into two floors, the first floor is the living room, kitchen, dining room, and a bedroom where the nanny lives, and a studio, and the second floor is five bedrooms, He Xichen, Harud, and Raul each have a bedroom, and Chevr also stayed, and she has a bedroom of her own, Yuri did not return to her own bedroom, but had to share a bedroom with Chevret.
Edward spent most of his days in his studio, which occupies nearly half of the entire ground floor, and a space has been carved out of the ground floor of his studio, which is connected by a staircase to the studio.
Edward's studio was full of books, his workbench was full of books, and a mountain of notes on the floor, and Edward was constantly jot down in the light of the notes.
With a gentle knock on the door, Chevr walked over to Edward's workbench and placed a cup of coffee on his workbench, Edward took his eyes off and rubbed them gently, "Thank you for taking care of Yuri." ”
Chevron took his coffee: "Have you really decided that you want to continue this research?"
Edward picked up his coffee: "My hobby and ambition are here. ”
Shevr bit his lips lightly, as if he had made up some kind of determination: "There is a lot of danger involved, and it is too late for you to get out now." ”
Edward touched the ring on his ring finger: "This is a lifelong dream of my sister and yours, I know that once I announce myself, the Holy See will definitely not let me go, I don't have the ability like you, I can only miss her in my own way, I only hope you can help me take care of Yuri." ”
Shevron turned away slightly, "I will protect you." ”
A miserable smile appeared on the corner of Edward's mouth, and he continued to work against the entire Holy See, he had no hope of living at all, as long as Yuri was okay, he could close his eyes with peace of mind.
Early the next morning, Chevr left Edward's house and hurried back to Hearthfire City, and before leaving, she instructed He Xichen not to return to the Kingdom of Cili easily, and when the time was right, she would take him back.
He Xichen promised on his lips, but he didn't take it to heart at all, since he was not allowed to return to the Xili Kingdom, he would travel to other countries, but before that, he first had to have a basic understanding of the mainland.
Yuri rode Raul into Edward's studio with a swagger, Edward glanced at his daughter and began to work again, Yuri obediently took out a book from the shelf: "Xiong Xiong, let's both read." ”
Raul touched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, little Yuri, I don't know words." ”
Yuri got off Raul's back: "Sit here. ”
Raul sat obediently on the ground, and Yuri sat on Raul's body: "I'll read it to Xiong Xiong." ”
Yuri almost played with Raul, and even slept together, Raul leaned against the wall and fell asleep, Yuri leaned on Raul's body, the books were scattered aside, and Yuri's little mouth kept muttering, "It's so warm." "It seems that something good is dreaming of something good in a dream.
Harud discovered Edward's underground cellar, which was full of old wines, but had been stored here and had not been touched, and the farthest vintage was fifty years old, and Harud's eyes were glowing green as if he had found a treasure.
Since this day, this long-established wine cellar has faced a catastrophe, and Harold has a hangover in the cellar every day, but fortunately Edward is not fond of drinking, otherwise he would have wailed and cried, and the entire cellar was nearly half lost in a few days.
Among them, the most boring is He Xichen, he can't find anything to do except for his daily cultivation, except for looking up at the sky, or looking up at the sky, Edward, who came out to drink coffee, smiled and said: "Xichen, I don't have any interesting places around here, although it is near the capital, there is still a long distance away, if you like it, I have a lot of books here to help you pass the time." ”
He Xichen said: "Really, take me to see it." ”
This is the first time He Xichen has entered Edward's studio, Raul and Yuri are still sleeping there, it seems that no sound can stop the two of them from sleeping, Edward whispered: "You can do whatever you want with the books here, just after reading them, remember to help me put them back in their original places." ”
He Xichen nodded, and entered the book mountain, saying that this is a book mountain is definitely not an exaggeration, each row of bookshelves is about three meters high, at least nearly a hundred rows of bookshelves are in it, each row of bookshelves can hold at least nearly a hundred books, and Edward classifies the bookshelves.
He Xichen found a bookshelf called Miscellaneous Notes, took out a book at random, sat on a chair under the bookshelf and looked at it carefully, this is a miscellaneous book that introduces the Xili Kingdom, which was written by a historian of the Xili Kingdom in 50 years, in the chapter of the historian, the record is not a national event, but some folk anecdotes.
The chapter repeatedly mentions a new business family, named Nora's family, this family in every war with the beasts, in the name of the people, imported a large number of weapons, pig iron, grain, cloth, resold to the then royal government, and this chamber of commerce is also in the kingdom of Xili, with other kingdoms to build iron ore, farms, ranches and other industries, every war, the Nora Chamber of Commerce will get huge profits, these profits are only obtained by quantity, Nora Chamber of Commerce does not increase the price of each goods.
For this reason, the Nora Chamber of Commerce won the respect of the entire Kingdom of Xili, and the king personally granted the title of president of the Nora Chamber of Commerce at that time, and the hereditary replacement, in peacetime, more merchants were willing to cooperate with the Nora Chamber of Commerce, even if the Nora Chamber of Commerce had some problems, but also with the help of many merchants to get through the difficulties.
He Xichen put this miscellaneous book back, and took out other books to read, this time he read the official history of the Francis Empire, which described in detail all the historical materials from the beginning of Francis's self-establishment to the present.
He Xichen suddenly found himself so interested in history that he hid here every day except for cultivation, Raul continued to take care of little Yuri, and Harud continued to sleep with his beloved wine.
After a period of familiarity, he had a general understanding of the bookshelves on Edward's second floor, and today, he finally found the most detailed introduction to the history of the beasts, and this book was not written by a papal historian, but by a historian.
Through reading these days, He Xichen found that most of the works written by historians of the Holy See praise the glory and greatness of the Holy See, rather than restoring the real historical facts, do not record the entire historical process without personal feelings.
Historians, on the other hand, will try their best to restore the historical facts as truthfully as possible based on the oral accounts of those who witnessed them at the time and the historical materials recorded by the historians at that time, without any emotions mixed in them.
According to the book, the origin of the beast race and the human race is roughly in the same period, and the specific period can not be verified, but according to the analysis of various historical materials, when the human race was first active, the beast race was also active, and even the two were allied for a long time, and then after the human belief in the Holy Cross Religion, the human and the beast began to fight for the living space.
He Xichen couldn't help but be a little crazy when he looked at it, the reason for the disagreement between humans and beasts in this book is not clear at all, and it can even be said to be a brushstroke, when did humans and beasts ally be, it is also ambiguous.
Edward's voice sounded in He Xichen's ears: "Xichen, why don't you look at the history written by the Holy See, but look at the books written by these historians, you know, most of the historical materials written by these historians are not detailed. ”
He Xichen closed the book and rubbed his eyes: "The content of the history books of the Holy See is too detailed, many places are like novels, my old man, but he has taught me to read since I was a child, he told me that the content of the history books without a trace of flaws, the probability of fabrication must be very high, not to mention the Holy See's description of the history of the beast race, it is too subjective, and it is not quite the same as what I understand, so I would rather read these historical works that are not detailed." ”
Edward held He Xichen's hands with some excitement: "It's really good, it's really good, are you willing to listen to me?"
He Xichen said: "Of course." "He was depressed because of a lot of historical materials.
Edward pulled a chair for He Xichen to sit down, and He Xichen made a cup of coffee, and then he sat down: "Xichen, do you believe in God?"
He Xichen said: "Of course." As a cultivator, he firmly believed that he would one day possess the power of the gods.
